Complete architectural implementation of a full scale quantum repeater
- Bell-Pairs creation
- several Bell-Pairs are created between adjacent nodes through entanglement distribution.
- Entanglement Purification
- if necessary purification may be performed.
- Entanglement swapping
- two adjacent nodes with high fidelity qubits undergo swapping to produce a longer link.
- If the destination is yet; the operatiosn from Step
$2$ and Step$3$ are repeated sequentially until destination node and sender's node are linked.
One quantum repeater is needed for every two parties communicating - a two part channel - fragmented omce into two parts.
Fragment the channel twice, you get three parts. (p = f + 1). Consequently, two quantum repeaters.
Each quantum repeater uses 4 qubits, 2 are memeory qubits, 2 are swap channels represented as qubits. Three entanglement generators ate needed.
Below os the circuit implementation of the quantum repeater circuit architecture.
